Falling asleep at the wheel
We have a plague of Israeli leaders falling asleep on television recently. Literally. Here's Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert (Warning - this clip expires June 2, 2007):And here's the Vice Premier, 84-year old Shimon Peres (who says he wants to be President and is occasionally mentioned as a possible replacement for Olmert when and if Olmert finally resigns):
For those of you with the good Hebrew who would rather hear the Channel 10 news report that showed the catnap in the original Hebrew, you can find it here. Oh yes, and for those who want to see the serious version of Olmert falling asleep, it's here.
And yes, this is more than a little symbolic.

Real-life literature, brimming with symbolism. Only trouble is: we're among the characters.
